DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

As previously described, the present invention teaches a hanger systemand assembly for such as which is capable of being secured to anoverhead extending doorway trim piece for rotatably supporting a garmentduring such as steam cleaning and other de-wrinkling procedures. Theadvantages of the bracket assembly include the ability to securely andcontrollably support a garment during cleaning or long periods oftensioning/stretching, such understood to be not limited to any specifictype of cleaning process or procedure.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the hanger system according to a firstembodiment, generally at 10, and which depicts both spring biased andsupported upper assembly 12 and a lower tensioning/weighting assembly14. As further shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, the upper 12 and lower14 assemblies grip a garment, depicted at 2, therebetween through theprovision of any plurality of upper 16 and lower 18 clips or biasingclamps, these further being constructed in any known fashion and of anysuitable material exhibiting with an intermediate spring elementdisposed between a pair of outer jaws and which are biased in a closedand gripping condition about an edge location of the fabric associatedwith the garment 2. It is further understood that, while the lowerassembly 14 is exhibited as a component of one variant of the system inwhich tensioning/stretching of the garment occurs, the present inventioncontemplates alternate variants in which only the upper assembly 12 maybe utilized in order to securely and rotatably support the garment at anelevated support location.

As further best shown in FIG. 1, the lower suspending portion of theupper assembly includes a triangular shaped frame with a central member(defined as pivotally split halves 20 and 20′) supporting the clamps 16in spaced apart fashion and which are interconnected at opposite ends bya pair of angled side members 22 and 24, these converging at an upperend in a further pivotal support member 26, in turn defining a lowerextending end of an elongated stem 28. As further shown in FIG. 10, aplurality of pivot pins 30, 32, and 34 are arranged in spaced apartfashion between the split halves 20 and 20′ and the angled sides 22 and24, with an upper pair of pins 36 and 38 pivotally supporting the upperconverting ends of the angled sides 22 and 24 with the pivotal supportmember 26.

The lower assembly 14 likewise includes an inverted triangular shapedframe with an upper extending (typically split half) central member, seesplit halves 40 and 40′, with a pair of angled side members 42 and 44. Alike plurality of pivot pins are shown at 46, 48 and 50 defined at theinverted split portions 40 and 40′ and the upper supported ends of theangled sides 42 and 44, with additional pivot pins 52 and 54 supportinglower converging ends of the angled sides 42 and 44 with pivotallocations associated with a lower miniature housing (defined by splithalves 56 and 58 in FIG. 10).

In this manner, both the upper hanger assembly 12 and lower tensioningassembly 14 are inter-articulating and, in use can incorporate anypress-pin or other suitable features for collapsing each pivotalconnection to permit the frames to be folded up for storage or portabletransport, such as depicted in each of FIGS. 5-7 in reference to theupper assembly. As further shown in FIG. 10, a small weighted portion 60can be seated within the housing and, in use, to provide the necessarydegree of weighting/tensioning exerted upon the subassembly and thelower engaged ends of the garment 2, thereby stretching the same in themanner depicted in the reduced length views of FIGS. 2 and 3.

The upper assembly in the initial variant 12 of FIGS. 1-10 also includesan upper-most body which defines a housing 62 with a configured hook end64 adapted for engaging an upper surface of a horizontal extendingsupport location, such as a door jamb 4 as represented in each of FIGS.4 and 8. As best shown in the cutaway of FIG. 8, the housing 62 includesan underneath accessible and threaded interior recess 65 extendingthrough an open top 66.

A support bracket includes a bottom plate 68 with an annular recess 70(see FIG. 10) defined therein, as well as having a perpendicularlyextending and thin body seating profile 72 for seating within a recess74 defined in the upper housing 62 in a vertically displaceablepermitting manner as shown in FIG. 8. The bottom plate 68 furtherincludes an embossed lip edge, at 76, for engaging the lower surface ofthe elevated door jamb 4 (again FIGS. 4 and 8).

A modified threaded bolt fastener includes a threaded shaft 78 and amodified head 80. As again best shown in the cutaway of FIG. 8, theshaft 78 is linearly recessed along its entire length, see inner radialwall 82, so that the stem 26 extends through its entirety and, dependingupon the adjusted location of the stem relative to the upper housing,can range from projecting upwardly from the housing recess 66 in a mostupwardly retracted position (FIG. 1) and in which a portion of theexteriorly threaded shaft 78 projects below the housing 62. The stem isfurther depicted lowered to an intermediate position (FIG. 8) in which asignificant length of the stem 26 extends downwardly from the housing,as well as to a most-lowered position (not shown) in which the stem(along with its triangular frame and garment) is lowered to a maximumdegree permitted by its construction.

As shown, the elongated stem 26 includes a plurality of keyed andannular extending recess locations, see at 84, 86, 88, 90 and 92 etseq., extending in linearly spaced intervals between a lower end and anupper most projecting end. A coil spring 94 can be provided and (isbiased between the underside of the upper housing 62 and the uppersurfaces of the bottom plate 68 in order to provide for quick releasefrom the jamb 4 upon rotating the head 80 in a threaded looseningdirection relative to the inner threaded profile of the housing withinwhich the shaft 78 is inter-engaged. The spring 94 is an optionalcomponent for providing an additional biasing or cushioning aspect tothe hanger assembly and is depicted in selected FIGS. 4, 8 and 10.

As previously indicated, the upper assembly provides for verticallengthening/shortening adjustment of the stem 28 and which is enabled inpart by the provision of a flattened disk or plate shaped detent 96 (seeFIG. 10) in which is formed an inner aperture 98. The width wiseinterior architecture of the fastener head 80 is such that it issufficiently hollowed to seat both a majority of the plate shaped detent96 along with a biasing (e.g. coil) spring 100. The plate 96 ispre-positioned within the open interior of the fastener head 80 in amanner which permits the stem 28 to be pre-installed in upwardlydisplacing fashion a given distance through the interior of the boltshaft 78, following which the biasing force of the coil spring 100exerts a force on an end of the plate 96 so that its inner aperture(which is slot shaped to exhibit a distance greater than the largestdiameter of the stem 28) is exerted into a keyed recess engagingcondition (see at 102 in FIG. 9A) thereby locking the stem in linearposition relative to the upper assembly.

FIG. 9B is a succeeding view to FIG. 9A in which disk or plate 96 isinwardly compressed, see arrow 104, in a counter direction to theexerting force of the spring 100, thereby unseating the detent engaginglocation (again 102 in FIG. 9A) from the selected keyed recess 86. Atthis point, the stem 28 is permitted to be vertically/linearlyrepositioning in either up or down directions, see arrow 106, relativeto the fixed components of the upper assembly, thus permitting the lowersuspended hanger frame and associated garment to be raised or lowered.As further evident from the engaging architecture established betweenthe spring detent and the stem, the design of the upper assembly is suchthat the stem 28 is permitted to be freely rotated at any verticallyadjusted position.

Referring now to FIG. 11-13, a series of perspective assembly, front androtated side views are generally depicted at 108 of an upper hangerassembly according to a further potential embodiment and which isutilized with a stem 28 and lower hanger frame assembly consistent withthat previously described. As is additionally depicted in the linearcutaway of FIG. 14 taken along line 14-14 of FIG. 12, an alternatelyconfigured upper assembly housing 110 is provided and again includes adownwardly configured hook edge 112 for engaging an upper horizontalsurface associated with the elevated/overhead door jamb 4 (see FIG. 14).

A rotatable lever 114 is secured to a forward vertical surface of thehousing 110, via a pivotal defining pin 116. The lever exhibits an upperengaging surface 118 associated with an underneath extending surface ofthe elevated jamb 4 or other suitable support and which, in combinationwith the upper hook engaging surface 112, allows for the lever 114 toquickly rotate the seating surface 118 into engagement with the jamb 4to either quickly mount or dismount the hanger assembly to and from theelevated support location. As further shown in FIG. 14, an inner mostextending portion 120 of the pin 116 can be mounted to the housing 110in either a fixed or (alternately) an height adjustable fashion forpermitting resizing of a separation distance between the upper hook edge112 and lower engaging surface 118 in order to accommodate differentdimensioned elevated support surfaces (such as wider or narrowersupports which vary from the standard width dimensions of an elevatedjamb).

As again shown in FIG. 14, a vertical passageway (see inner radial wall122) extends the entire height of the housing 110 and through whichextends the stem 28. A variation of the laterally biased detentmechanism is provided and includes a plate shaped detent 124 similar tothat previously depicted at 96 in FIG. 10 and which includes an innerdefined slot 126 with biasing spring 128 for effecting quick linearadjustment of the garment supporting stem between succeeding keyedrecessed locations 84, 86, 88, et seq.

Referring to FIGS. 15-17, a series of perspective, front and side viewsare depicted of a further variant 130 of the upper hanger assembly 108in FIG. 11. A housing 132 is provided and again includes an upper andangled hook edge 134 for engaging the upper jamb 4 surface. A lowerengaging plate support 136 includes an embossment 138 for engaging theunderside jamb surface as shown in FIG. 18.

An inner support rod 140 (again FIG. 18) is integrally formed with andextends upwardly from the lower vertically adjustable plate 136 and isseated within a recessed vertically interior 142 of the housing 132. Asideways located lever 144 (FIGS. 15-17) is pivotally secured to thehousing 132 and rotatably engages an inner cam 146 (FIG. 18) between afirst engaged position relative to the rod 140 (shown) and a secondninety degree rotated and release position in which the rod 140 ispermitted to be vertically readjusted (see directional arrow 148) inorder to adjust a separation distance between the lower jamb engagingembossed location 138 and the upper angled hook edge 134.

A laterally biased detent mechanism is again provided (see FIG. 18) andincludes a plate shaped detent 150 with an inner defined slot 152 withbiasing spring 154 for effecting quick linear adjustment of the garmentsupporting stem between succeeding keyed recessed locations 84, 86, 88,et seq. As further shown, the stem 28 extends through aligning apertures156 defined in the lower plate 136 and at 157 in the body of the housing132, this in order to facilitate both vertical adjustability of the stem28 as well as to provide additional stabilizing and anti-pivotingsupport to the plate 136 in combination with the seating of the supportrod 140 within the vertically recessed profile 142.

FIG. 19 is an illustration in perspective at 158 of a further example ofan alternately configured upper hanger assembly and which provides thefeatures of spring biased cushioning displacement in combination withelevated support location engagement and linear stem adjustability. Inparticular, a two piece housing includes an upper clamping member 160with an upper angled and jamb surface engaging hook edge 162, acorresponding separate lower clamping member 164 exhibiting an upperprojecting edge 166 for engaging an underside extending jamb or othersuitable elevated support surface.

An elongated pedestal 168 exhibiting a keyed cross sectional profile 169extends integrally from the lower clamping member 164 and upwardlythrough a mating keyed recess profile 170 defined in the upper clampingmember 160 for accommodating a range of separation adjustability betweenthe clamping members 160 and 164. The stem 28 extends through aligningapertures (not shown in this view) defined in spaced apart locations ofthe upper clamping member 160 and lower clamping member 164 relative tothe vertically extending pedestal 168 and in order to provide stablebi-directional adjustability as indicated by arrow 172 as well asrotation of the stem 28 as further indicated by arrow 173.

A coil spring 174 seats about the stem 28 in separation biasing fashionbetween an underside seating surface of the upper clamping member 160and a corresponding upper seating surface of the lower clamping member164. A knob 176 is configured underneath the lower clamping member 164and which can incorporate any suitable tab or slot or other structurefor adjusting a separation distance between the jamb engaging surfacesof the clamping members.

A variation of the laterally biased detent mechanism is provided andincludes a plate shaped detent 178 similar to that previously depictedat 96 in FIG. 10 which is laterally displaceably mounted within an openinterior of the knob 176. As in previous embodiments, the detent 178includes an inner defined slot (not shown) with biasing spring foreffecting quick linear adjustment of the garment supporting stem betweensucceeding keyed recessed locations 84, 86, 88, et seq. Also shown is aconventional hanger 6 with upper hook engaging portion 8, this engaginga modified and arcuate support location 180 associated with areconfigured lower portion 182 of the stem 28 according to the furthervariant.

FIG. 20 is a variant of FIG. 19, identical in most respects, andexhibiting a different hanger supporting bottom stem configuration, at184, exhibited by a washer-like structure for receiving the hookengaging portion 8 of the conventional clothes hanger 6. Finally, FIG.21 is an illustration of the hanger assembly of FIG. 1 in a shower rod186 supporting application and in which only the downwardly configuredcurved hook end 64 is employed for supporting the assembly upon theupper arcuate support surface established by the horizontally extendingsupport rod 186.

It is understood that the present invention is not limited to thespecific construction of any of the previously described variants, andwhich are intended to be representative of a number of differentpotential configurations and constructions for providing the features ofsecure elevated support to the assembly, this combined with uninhibitedrotation of the hanger and the ability to undertake quick heightadjustment of the stem. Without limitation, each of the componentsintegrated into the present assembly can exhibit any materialconstruction, not limited to durable plastic, lightweight metal or thelike.

It is also envisioned that the upper assembly can be furtherreconfigured to incorporate any resilient biasing material and/or beredesigned in order to provide for a biasing engagement of the upper andlower jamb surfaces without having to incorporate distance adjustabilityfeatures. Additional variants can also include the stem being anchoredin place within the housing, and or being linearly height adjustablethrough an intermediate bracket or other support slidingly engageablewith the housing. It is also envisioned that an additional miniaturizedmotor drive can be provided and which can be installed or otherwiseintegrated into the upper assembly to facilitate constant and non-manualrotation of the stem and hanger support.

Advantages and other features provided by the hanger system include eachof the ability to quickly and efficiently steam clean one or moregarments at a time, the retractability/portability of the device whentraveling (again FIGS. 5-7), as well as the ability to support theassembly upon a door frame or shower rod with the adjustable clampingstructure, such as in particular for fitting various door frame sizes.Additional advantages include the assembly being rotatable a full 360°which removes much of the effort of moving and repositioning garments inconventional ironing operations.

The lower hanger assembly further provides for maintaining the garmentin a straight and wrinkle free inducing condition. The combination ofthe upper and lower hanger assemblies further optimizes the applicationof the present system to other non-traditional garment stem cleaningoperations in use with pillow cases, sheets, curtains and the like.
